Brian Miller of Northampton was charged with aggravated harassment by prisoner, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. He was arraigned by District Judge Rod Beck and sent to Lehigh County Jail under $50,000 bail.

According to court records:

A Catasauqua police officer was on patrol at 8:50 p.m. on Chestnut Street when he saw a man, later identified as Miller, sitting on the steps of a home with his head between his legs. The officer approached Miller, who smelled of alcohol and couldn't answer questions.

When another officer arrived, Miller got angry and cursed.

The police officers attempted to handcuff Miller but he resisted and threatened to punch one of the officers in the face. He refused to get into a police vehicle and continued yelling at the officers, police said. Miller was eventually taken to police headquarters, where he spit on a police officer, police said.
